1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This manuscript reviews the molecular aspects of tumor cell invasion of extracellular matrix. The changes in cell:substrate and cell:cell receptors that characterize motile cells are discussed for their importance not only in mediating invasive cell behavior, but also as diagnostic markers for invasive potential. Autocrine motility and scatter factors probably have key roles in initiating migratory behavior, while specific and non-specific extracellular matrix alterations can facilitate cell locomotion. The manuscript reviews reported changes, such as induction of cell motility, matrix degrading enzymes, and invasive/metastatic potential, which can follow transfection with ras oncogenes, and details the key roles of metalloproteinases, heparanase, and plasminogen activator in matrix degradation. Enzymatic inhibitors of initial steps in extracellular matrix degradation, such as rTIMP, and synthetic blockers of adhesive steps in tumor cell invasion represent types of reagent with potential as anti-metastatic agents. Their potential usefulness may be increased if they can be incorporated into a novel, long-term, non-traditional delivery system.
